01. I finally find Brad Pitt attractive. I guess I just had to wait until he started looking old.
02. Ellen Barkin has incredibly frightful lips and breasts. I hate that this is the only thing I can comment on about the only woman in the film, but it’s all I could concentrate on.
03. I thought this movie was actually pretty damn boring. I don’t think they did a terribly good job of conveying the magnitude of the heist(-ish) they were planning and thus all the meticulous planning they did seemed more than a little pointless.
04. The return of the ridiculous French dude from Ocean’s Twelve was completely unnecessary. We know Terry Benedict is an asshole, we learned that in the first film; we don’t need a redux involving the guy from the second film to remind us.
05. I disliked the font choice for the closing credits (the rather art deco one, not the 1950s kitschy one).
06. Loved the first Oprah bit, loathed the second bit because it was too predictable.
07. I adore Casey Affleck in these movies, I really do, but his plotline was so fucking stupid. Viva la revolucion! Please. * eyeroll *
08. I think I really like movies about casinos because the visuals are just so extreme. The tackiness and decadence is astounding and I love how that sort of aesthetic is only ever okay in Las Vegas. Or Donald Trump’s penthouse.
09. On the one hand, I like movies where everyone in the cast is friends and you know the film is just an excuse for them to get together and hang out while getting paid. On the other hand, it’s unsurprising that when this is the driving force behind making a film, small details like, oh, the film itself seem to get lost in the mix.
10. Hey, Al Pacino, where’d your acting ability go? Plus he was orange. Entirely orange. His skin was fake-tan orange and his hair was dyed this awful rusty brown orange gross colour and basically he was monochrome. I disapprove of monochrome in this manner.
11. Saw the Die Hard trailer again and it still looks awesome. Saw the Stardust trailer again and it still looks completely ridiculous.
